[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 46413"] Munster will not play their quarter final in Thomond Park, instead they'll play in Lansdowne Rd, apparently an agreement was made pre-season that if any Irish province qualify for the knockout stages of the HEC with home draws then their matches would be played at Lansdowne. I know people will think Munster are forfeiting their advantage, but it makes financial sense, and I don't care what people say Wasps would have beaten Munster in that semi-final even if it was played in Thomond Park. Plus there's the fact that Munster got over their Lansdowne hoodoo last year, wasn't much of one anyway losing to Leinster in the CL final of 2001 and Wasps in the SF of the HEC 2004, when they beat Leinster and Llanelli in the SF and Final of the Celtic Cup. When it comes to the HEC Munster won't get complacent, they'll know what Perpignan are capable, they know they have a decent away record in the knockout stages, so they'll take the task that bit more seriously.
